This is a winter warmer event to help ease in a new year of
geocaching.
The plan is to meet at the given coordinates (the car park
behind the pub) at 11:00am, or a tad later if we're waiting
for anyone to arrive by overdue bus.
We'll follow
the marked route down Kite's Hill, through Pope's Wood, then
skirting round the top of Spoonbed Hill, to arrive at Painswick
Beacon trig point around 12:30pm. First to get there just ahead of
the main group can claim FTF!
Then it's a leisurely walk back to the pub for optional food
& drink (unfortunately dogs are not allowed inside). Late
arrivals who couldn't make it to the trig point can sign the log
book here from about 1pm, but please don't just cache 'n' dash.
The weather will surely be absolutely awful. You will want to
bring sensible outdoor clothing. This is Britain and it will be
January – don't say we didn't warn you.
Taking the bus? Then consider that Stagecoach

you'll be arriving by bus (so we'll know to wait), and if it's
likely you'll be ordering food.
